CAPO 2ND FRET

A5                   D5
A5 glass, A5 view, A5 mirror

E5       A5
which one

A5                   D5       E5       A5
distracts like open windows in the gusts

E5      D5          A5 
a calm day will come

E5      D5
A calm day will

A5
This dream is
This dream is

D5
This dream is
               E5
in a telescope now
 
This dream is
This dream is

A5
This dream is
This dream is

D5
This dream is
               E5
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is

A5
Fever in bed

D5
Time covers

E5     A5
go unknown

A5                          D5
This fright it grows and misses 

E5         A5
Sinks and floats

E5      D5        A5 
A calm day will come

E5       D5
my calm day will
 
A5
This dream is
This dream is

D5
This dream is
               E5
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is

A5
This dream is
This dream is

D5
This dream is
               E5
in a telescope now
This dream is
This dream is
 
(one strum ) A
Fever in bed
Time covers
 
(one strum ) A
go unknown
 
(one strum ) A
Until two eyes out of the darkness 
 
(resume normal strumming) A
bring hope close

A5 D5 E5 D5 E5 A5 (X2)

A5
This childish 

            D5
heart won't wait
it dances 

         E5
keeps me awake 
to think on to think on

A5
you're the greatest light, 
             D5 
the greatest shade
it means that

         E5
I can be happy for you

D5
Happy for you

A5
Happy for you
Happy for you

E5
Happy for you

D5
Happy for you....
